“Madison is fantastic! She is very professional, has a great setup and huge back yard. Waylon loved playing with her puppy. We weren’t worried for a second with our boy in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Celia! This was our first Rover.com experience and we were more than pleased. We were very impressed with the step by step introductions to the other dogs and the concern for pet safety in general. There was a nice fenced in yard and Celia followed any instructions that we may have had. We also enjoyed the many updates and pics. We would definitely recommend Celia to any of our dog friends!”
“AWESOME!! Margie was the perfect sitter for our little guys respite! This was our first time ever being away from one another for more than a couple of days and he stayed with Margie for the whole week. She was very patient with both of us, and sent us messages and pictures everyday. We take a week vacay once a year and will definitely be reaching back to to make sure she’s available.”
About: I am an animal lover and am well versed in taking care of animals of almost any species. My friends call me Cinderella because they say it's as if I can speak to animals. My dad has bred dogs since before I was born so I know how to take care of dogs from as young as a newborn to a senior. I am more than comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and can administer any medication they may need. I have personally trained both of my dogs and a few others. I am a stay at home dog mom so I have all the time your pup could need! I have a 6 year old collie named Hollie and a 3 year old corgi named Phoebe. They are as sweet as can be and keep up with whatever pace your pup is at. They love playing outside in our big backyard but they will never say no to a nap. Our dogs are allowed on the couch are in the bed so if they is not allowed at home just give me a heads up! They have plenty of toys and are more than happy to share. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog as needed. I want this to feel like a home away from home for your pup so if there is any part of their routine I should know about please let me know. Even if it's as silly as I need to microwave their food for 3 seconds or they won't eat. I'm happy to do it!
“My dog normally is hesistant of new people but immediately took to Shannon. Shannon taught me about proper intros and health facts around bloating I never knew prior. She not only kept me updated while she boarded my high energy dog everyday she had her, she also was understanding of unexpected car issues i had on the day of pick up. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who needs a safe place for their pet and seeking good communication during whatever service they choose to explore with her. 10000/10 would recommend”
“I 100% recommend nontombe ! this was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was worried, but nontombe was super nice and my boy warmed up to her very quickly ! I got picture/video updates everyday and I couldn’t be more pleased !”
“I can't say enough good things about Karen. My boy was well taken care of, had a lot of fun. Very welcoming and professional and warm. I will definitely be boarding with her again. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“We have never left our dogs with anyone before. Ms. Kathy made the experience wonderful and they were very well taken care of. If we ever have to leave them again we will definitely use her again. Thank you Ms. Kathy”
“Niagara is fantastic! Glimmer looks so happy in all the pictures and videos she sends. You can tell she is well taken care of. This is our second time using Niagara and will continue to be back, she has quickly become Glimmer's favorite [adopted] Auntie! Glimmer recognizes when we pull into her driveway and gets super excited for her stay. Thank you, Niagara, for taking care of our little furbaby like she was your own. You are the best!”
“This is Michael's second time watching Birdie, and once again we got her back healthy and happy. They take her on walks every day, accommodate our dietary requests for her, and just generally take great care of her so she doesn't have to spend time in a kennel. I strongly recommend Michael if you're looking to board your dog.”
“Therio and family were great with my girl! They took her on walks updated pics with me and spoiled her! Even Apollo enjoyed her company. Thanks for keeping Olivia last minute.”
“Ashley was great with my two pugs and kept in touch throughout their 4 day stay with pics and texts. One of my dogs is still sort of a puppy and has a lot of energy so it was helpful that she had a back yard to run him around a bit. I was happy to see them well taken care of!”
“We are overjoyed to have found Sally! Having had a few bad experiences, our pups were behaving anxiously about yet another sitter. However Sally was quick to recognize this and give our girls extra attention. I can’t say enough about her and how she obviously cares for animals. She’s a true professional and we hope to rebook with her again and again and again!”
“Stacey is SO wonderful! Renegade was loved all weekend. He came home exhausted and ready to nap all-day. Most certainly recommend her to everyone. Thank you for all The pictures and loving my boy all weekend. ?”
“Jenny was super accommodating and treated Dexter like her own! She sent picture updates as well. Dexter and her dog are besties now! Definitely will be a repeat customer!!”
“Cory and his family are very attentive when caring for our pup. After finding him on Rover, it’s now easy to go away for an overnight or weeklong trip. We never have to worry if our pup is lonely or having a great time. Cory always sends photo updates on how things are going. Looking forward to booking Cory’s services again.”
“Gina was awesome! Very accommodating, easy to work with and great at communicating. Our first time boarding overnight, and she made it so easy - when we picked him up it was clear he had a good time and was comfortable. Highly recommended!”
“Nikki and Moxie are fantastic hosts! Chloe starts to get excited as soon as we break out her travel bag, and loves her time with them. Nikki is great with communication and flexibility- both really appreciated!”

Bokyung is truly one of the most responsible and caring sitters I’ve ever met!🌷🌷❤️❤️ Dun Dun is a very high-energy puppy who needs a lot of interaction, playtime, and attention, and Bokyung did an amazing job meeting all of her needs.❤️ She was incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs! Dun Dun was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I really appreciated the updates lovely photos and videos and how thoughtful Bokyung was throughout the stay. Her mini Aussie, Bean, is also absolutely adorable! very friendly and sweet and Dun Dun got along wonderfully with her. It was such a relief knowing Dun Dun was in such a loving and engaging environment. I would highly recommend Bokyung to anyone! We would absolutely love to book with her again!
Patricia is an excellent care taker! Buster was so happy being with her. She gave lots of great updates and little videos. The pictures she sent showed us that he was as comfortable at her house as he is at home. Buster is a little more needy with his care because he is a senior dog now. Patricia had no problem feeding him by hand to help him. I highly recommend using Patricia for your boarding needs.
